With all eyes on Hurricane Erin, Chief Meteorologist Jon Porter demonstrates how the free AccuWeather app can help you keep track of the storm including any future hurricanes throughout the season.
00:00Lots of eyes on Hurricane Aaron here in the Atlantic over the coming days.
00:08We have many tools to track Aaron and all the threats this hurricane season on the free AccuWeather app.
00:13I want to show some of those tools to you today.
00:16Here's the main AccuWeather app dashboard.
00:18We're going to head down to the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
00:22But you can, of course, go anywhere around the country or around the world by just tapping on the top and putting in a city name or zip code.
00:28I wanted to show you the Hurricanes tab down at the bottom right-hand corner here.
00:33And when you tap on that, you're going to get a list of all the active hurricanes or tropical storms in the Atlantic or Pacific as relevant.
00:40And when you tap on Aaron, we're going to have all the details.
00:43It's the main dashboard about Aaron.
00:45You can see the current stats on Aaron, including the maximum sustained winds, the minimum pressure, how we expect that to change over the next several days.
00:53But tap on the interactive map with this little button right here.
00:56And when you do that, you bring up a fully interactive map of the track of the storm.
01:00And look at this.
01:00I can pan and zoom wherever I want.
01:03I can tap on any location here and get more details about the winds, maximum sustained winds and wind gusts at that particular point in time and when that's going to occur.
01:12And again, you can zoom back out and look at the entire track of the storm.
01:15You can also, when you go back here, tap on the back button and go down on this, down to the bottom of the screen under track Aaron.
01:22Notice all these other graphics that we have in terms of risk to life and property, rainfall amounts.
01:27You can tap on those and understand what impacts AccuWeather hurricane experts are expecting.
01:32This is the AccuWeather hurricane forecast, the exclusive AccuWeather hurricane forecast.
01:37And all these details are available in the app in order to help you to make the best decisions.
01:41And take a look at the descriptions that we've got when you go into the day-by-day forecast.
01:45I'm going to bring that up over in this area.
